i have been to raves, i do call it "the fanime rave" but really raves are not like that, yeah glowsticks and all are present at real raves, but Fanime is better than that, i would much rather be at the Fanime rave than a real one. at a real rave there are too many stupid people >.< plus at the one here in Fanime, there is better music. like the first year they played Darude, i never hear them at a real rave.

as for the bag checks... OMG kudos lol thats why raves have a bad rap is people bring shhhhhtuff in and no one really checks bags.

Location... i liked where it was last year, there was plenty of room, plz plz say it will be there again this year. in 2007 it was cramped and stuffy, it smelled like someone was musty >.<. the one last year 2008 was perfect,room to rest and room to dance.

one question i have is the clothing i was gonna wear to the rave, is it appropriate? i am wearing a shirt covering my torso, and a net shirt OVER that, all other parts of my body WILL be covered. but the top half, is that appropriate? :/ please answer ONLY if you are sure, i dont want to be mis informed lol, i need time to get a new outfit if the answer is no

Ok, I'm not trolling, but I did want to put in my two cents.

If you've really been to legitimate "raves" before you must be pushing 30 or older, because at 23 I can only imagine what the original rave scene was like in the early 90s (somewhat envious of those who got to experience it firsthand.) Also, you've never heard Darude at a club/rave before because nobody really spins trance anymore, least not out here. If you like trance thats cool, but its not really the big deal around here in the Bay Area.
